Page No. : 65-69
ABSTRACT
It is common knowledge that the axis powers played a significant role in the first global war. Most experts believe that Benito Mussolini, Europe’s first fundamentalist leader, got the name of his organisation from the Latin word ’fasces,’ which referred to a mound of elm or birch bars (often with a hatchet) used as a symbol of penal specialist in ancient Rome. Nonetheless, the Treaty of Versailles imposed severe economic and political sanctions on these nations. This is why these powers endured so much injustice following the end of the global war. Consequently, many nations viewed superpowers as their rivals and wanted retribution. In the meantime, Mussolini rose to prominence as the leader of Italy. By 1939, there were at least seven Arab "shirt" groups, including the Syrian People’s Party, also known as the Syrian National Socialist Party, the Iraqi Futuwa Movement, and the Young Egypt Movement, also known as the Green Shirts. Numerous proto-fascist and fascist organisations formed in Japan and Germany after 1918, and their acts led to the development of fascist ideology in their respective countries. In addition, these fascist forces contributed to the onset of World War II. This article explores the political theory of fascism in a global framework.
